HOMSTRAD -- the Homologous Protein Structure Alignment Database
What you can do:
To identify key structurally conserved residues within the same protein families.
Highlights:
- This is a collection of protein families, clustered on the basis of sequence and structural similarity.
- The database is unique in that the protein family sequence alignments have been specially annotated using the program to highlight a wide range of structural features.
- Superpositions of the structures within each family are also available and a sensitive structure-aided search engine, FUGUE, can be used to search the database for matches to a query protein sequence.
Keywords:
- protein structures
- protein families
- protein domains
- protein structure alignments
- protein family sequence alignments
